Well researched. Topics covered well, with walkthrough for exam.le cases for each new introduced algorithm. Great experience, learned a lot of important algorithms and algorithmic thinking practices.

Thank you for teaching me this course. I learned a lot of new things, including Divide-and-Conquer, MergeSort, QuickSort, and Randomization Algorithms, along with proof for their asymptotic runtime

Great Course. Now I get some idea of the spirit of Algorithms, that is "Can we do better?"

我的算法只是很少,因此从第三周学起来有些费劲,不过还是慢慢摸索出来了。大部分时间都是看的老师的书,感觉视频和书有很多重合的部分。整体来说,我感觉长见识了,突然间更觉得数学有用了。
